Lambeth Riot

The Lambeth Riot (1868) was a civil disturbance in the Lambeth borough of London, England that occurred when the Rooks and Blighters agreed to a gang war. Cletus Strain and his gang were wiped out, and the Rooks took over the borough.

History
Following Jacob Frye's takeover of the Blighters' territories in Lambeth, Frye decided to set up a gang war with Cletus Strain. The green-suited Rooks and the red-suited Blighters fought each other on a street in a melee battle fought in a medieval style, and the Rooks killed all of the Blighters sent out after them. Strain put up a fight, but Frye was able to kill the sadistic gangster. With Strain's death, Lambeth was now in Rook hands, and the remaining Blighters joined the Rooks.
